Shashi Tharoor’s statement on Vinesh Phogat’s announcement
Indian star wrestler Vinesh Phogat has announced her retirement from wrestling. She became the first Indian female wrestler to reach the final of the 50 kg category of the Paris Olympics, but she was disqualified due to weight before the final match. Frustrated by this, she announced her retirement the very next day. Now Congress MP Shashi Tharoor has reacted to this.
Vinesh Phogat announced her retirement at a time when she missed out on achieving her biggest achievement so far. Indian star wrestler Vinesh Phogat wrote on ‘X’, “Ma wrestling won over me, I lost, sorry, your dream, my courage are all shattered, I don’t have any more strength now. Goodbye wrestling 2001-2024.” On her post, Congress MP Shashi Tharoor wrote, “This girl has been caught by this system, this girl is tired of fighting…#SorryVinesh!”
Prime Minister Modi also expressed grief
Congress MP Shashi Tharoor has also shared a photo of Vinesh Phogat on social media. Let us tell you that a few hours before the final match in the Paris Olympics, Vinesh Phogat was disqualified due to being 100 grams overweight. Prime Minister Modi also expressed grief over Vinesh Phogat’s disqualification. He wrote on social media, “Vinesh, you are the champion of champions. You are a pride and inspiration for the people of India. Today’s shock hurts. I wish words could express the feeling of disappointment that I am experiencing. I know that you will face the challenges bravely, such has been your nature. Come back stronger. We are all with you.”
Can she take back her decision to retire?
At the same time, now the news is also coming out that Vinesh Phogat can take back her decision of retirement. She will represent India in wrestling again. This information has been given by her uncle and Dronacharya Award winner Mahavir Phogat. This statement of Mahavir Phogat has come at a time when Vinesh Phogat announced to quit wrestling. Mahavir, who came in front of the media for the first time on her decision, said, “When a player plays for the country, he wants to win a medal for the country. Vinesh also went to the Paris Olympics with the same mindset. When she had to drop out of the final race due to being overweight, it is natural that anyone’s heart is broken.”
He said, “When she returns home, we will convince her to take back her decision to retire. We hope that she will understand our words and take back her decision to retire. We will make Vinesh Phogat work hard with the goal of winning gold in the 2028 Olympics.” He said that she has taken the decision to retire on her own. The family has not been asked in this regard.
